DEMOLITION HAS BEGUN!


Check out the sign! I think I'd take the drugs and guns to what BISD has to offer!!
(more pics here)

updated 04/10/10:  BISD got their way, defying everyone and everything - even the judge's scathing remarks. Whether there will be further legal issues, unknown, but our beloved school has lost to an obvious vendetta. As I understand, demolition will continue over the several weeks but the main structure could be down in a matter of days. A new section has been added to this site, "Demolition," (top, left-hand column) which contains info and media coverage of this presumably final phase of our saga. But you might want to watch our local media sites for up-to-minute news. They are:
Beaumont Enterprise; KBMT 12 News Now; Channel 6 News; and Fox News 4
